This Gen Z Rapper Created "Satan Shoes" With Actual Drops Of Human Blood, And Nike Is Not Happy About It
Will anything ever top
Lil Nas X‘s controversial music video release
Montero (Call Me By Your Name), where he can be seen giving a lap dance to the devil himself?
Well, his Satan Shoes might.
# What Is It All About?
Lil Nas X teamed up with MSCHF, a company that sells pretty much anything that goes viral; to custom-design Nike Air-Max '97 shoes that include actual human blood in them. (If you're wondering, the blood is taken from the members of MSCHF team.)
1. Only 666 pairs will be sold, each individually numbered.
2. Luke 10:18 written on the sides.
3. The pentagram pendant on each shoe.
4. And of course, the fact that it contains 60cc ink and one drop of actual human blood in the soles.
# What Does Nike Have To Say About It?
According to
Vulture, Nike has since published a statement that strongly denies any endorsement with either Lil Nas X or MSCHF, so there you go. Apparently, they're not cool with it. Understandable though given that you know, there's a tiny blood sacrifice involved.
# Final Questions: How Much Is It?
Nope, it's not $666.
It is actually priced at $1018, to symbolize the Bible verse Luke 10:18 that is also featured on the shoes.
